October 03, 2011 – Azhar & Azhar Law Firm Secures F-1 Reinstatement with USCIS for College Student

On October 03, 2011 Azhar & Azhar Law Firm secured the approval of our client’s F-1 reinstatement with USCIS.  Our client had his SEVIS terminated on March 25, 2011 following his failure to enroll in 12 semester hours in the spring semester of 2010.  His failure to register for 12 semester hours, however, was a result of being involved in a serious car accident.  Following the car accident, our client had to undertake physical therapy for almost two months to correct injuries he sustained to his right hand and back. 

The attorneys at Azhar & Azhar Law Firm argued that our client’s failure to register for the requisite 12 semester hours was a result of “technical” reasons by virtue of his medical condition.  INA § 245(c)(2); 8 C.F.R. § 1245.1(d)(ii).  The attorneys further argued that the circumstances that prevented our client from satisfying the terms of his F-1 status were exceptional and also provided considerable documentation to support the request for reinstatement. 

On October 03, 2011 USCIS agreed with the arguments made by the attorneys at Azhar & Azhar Law Firm and granted our client F-1 reinstatement for the duration of his academic career.
